I believe websites of ebooks for download are coming. Oh, they are already here.
The paper print companies can join the move, or fade away, like the buggy accessory makers.

Correct-unless you're assuming that a publisher who issues both pbook & ebook versions "won't think outside the box"? If that's true, where did their ebook versions come from?
In most cases, the problem isn't the refusal to issue ebooks, but the refusal to price them appropriately-and 'appropriately itself covers a wide range of opinions. (I'm definitely in the camp that says the only reason a pbook version should be cheaper than the ebook is because the retailer is selling it as a 'loss leader'. Not usually the case IMO-more often it's the publisher not reducing the ebook price when they release a cheaper pbook version. And that's wrong.)
